This package needs to be in Debian archive in order for Canonical to include in 15.10. What is the status of that?

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

It doesn't matter if the package is in Debian or not.

However it fails to build. See
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdfp/1.0.11-0ubuntu1/+build/7715135

it successfully builds on 15.04.

this looks like a binutils regression on the 2.25 branch

Binutils started to detect a bad usage of mfcr.
So, this is a bug in libdfp. I'm already working on it.
